La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Mais il lui dit: Voici, je te prie, il y a dans cette ville un homme de Dieu, et c'est un homme vénéré, et tout ce qu'il dit arrive; allons-y maintenant; peut-être qu'il nous enseignera le chemin que nous devons suivre.
Darby's French Translation
Et il lui dit: Voici, je te prie, il y a un homme de Dieu dans cette ville, et c'est un homme considéré; tout ce qu'il dit arrive infailliblement: allons-y maintenant, peut-être nous enseignera-t-il le chemin par lequel nous devons aller.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Et le serviteur lui dit : Voici, je te prie, il y a en cette ville un homme de Dieu, qui est un personnage fort vénérable; tout ce qu'il dit arrive infailliblement; allons y maintenant, peut-être qu'il nous enseignera le chemin que nous devons prendre.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto him,.... That is, the servant of Saul:

behold, now, there is in this city a man of God; a prophet of the Lord, as the Targum; such were called men of God, because not only partakers of the grace of God, but of extraordinary gifts, which qualified them for the office of prophets. The city near to which they now were was Ramah, the place where Samuel lived, and he is the man of God here meant:

and he is an honourable man; of great esteem among men for his wisdom and knowledge, integrity and faithfulness, and particularly for his gift of prophecy, being a true prophet of the Lord; so the Targum,

"and he is a man that prophesies truth,''

and that made him honourable, and gave him great credit:

all that he saith cometh surely to pass; as his prophecies concerning Eli's family, and other things, which were well known to have had their accomplishment, and this had gained him universal esteem, see 1 Samuel 3:19,

now let us go thither; being very near it, within sight of it, insomuch that the servant could point at it, and say "this city", as in the preceding part of the verse:

peradventure he can show us our way that we should go; to find the asses; he was not certain he could or would, but thought it possible and probable he might.
